I would like you to meet my E30 M3. The whole story started when I was in the autumn of 2008 a friend and me in the last corner of the garage into a dusty E30 M3 Body noticed. On demand, it turned out that this M3 was totally slaughtered since 1998 due to engine trouble, and since then just standing around. After 2-week discussion with my girlfriend I took the body and proceeded to build from scratch.

Ans disassemble it took me no longer made right, because my previous owner it provided full employment and found even the mounted cable tie is still used. By the 10-year life of the car I had a nearly rust free body work, where I found only now and then small rusting. But had the entire lower floor down. The entire underbody protection was removed and treated with POR15. Also, all axle parts were sandblasted and powder coated.

Every screw, every clip I got new from BMW. At first I built again my S38 turbo engine. But I decided after the first test drive immediately back again. Kopflastig again .. a huge turbo lag, no, that can not be. After 10 minutes of driving I was aware that this is not the best basis in order to have lasting fun. Way to build the engine for brief stint together with the drive again. I knew that I wanted to go back again to a strong induction engine. Turbo 5 years were were now enough for me. Ultimately, I chose the S85 engine from the BMW E60 M5 after I graduated with such a car for a test drive. The data speak for themselves, 507PS and a limiter in 8250upm such infernal sound, that it is difficult to describe.

So I set myself the challenge to build an M3 with V10 is suitable for everyday use. The scenario is as power steering, BKV, and most importantly an original comfortable motor control. Because I think it had to be a third solution. better than the two V10 e30 m3 circulating on the Internet. The former Sweden M3 V10 without power and the BKV manages, and Ami in which only the outer skin is an E30 M3. Especially driving both with programmable according nervous and fuel injection systems.

After 2 years I was in early September, a first test drive in the M3, and must say so, a V10 engine is an absolute dream. At part load it can be driven like a normal, civilized car, at full load, he is absolutely evil on the gas and the powerful propulsion is very bright with an infernal to scream. At 8000 U7min is switched, which is also the advantage is that you can use a lower gear for much longer. For me this is my dream engine per se. Also in the curves, it looks great, the aluminum motor does not seem top-heavy. The V10 corresponds to the length of her in about an M20 engine. Through the cylinder bank angle of 90 degrees is also a relatively low center of gravity, making the car an absolute curve cutter.

To get the advance on the road I use a KW coilover suspension, pressure / train set and I've installed on the vehicle weight changes corresponding springs. All bearings are uniball, except differential stock and barrel storage because my road noise was too loud. The H / R sport stabilizers are best advantage.

I built as a brake VA a 345mm disc out of the E46 M3 CSL with Porsche Cayenne 6-piston calipers. perform at the HA discs with 325mm CSL Porsche 996 4-piston calipers their service. The hand brake funkioniert yet.

Basically, I am now finished with this project. I expect in the next time the Carbonairboxen, and are still doing some minor rework on the car.

Also, I still want Mr. Robert Sop, (www.Awron.de) specialists to thank my electrician, who worked for weeks with my electronics and so many sleepless nights worried he is due to the engine so perfectly performed his duties as he now just does. I will not forget the picture when I came over and took up sleeping on the chair in front of my car."
